In celebration of 2023 World Radio Day, Fidelity Bank Ghana has honoured radio stations in Ghana for their profound contribution to stability and national development through accurate and reliable reportage.
The celebration was marked with the Bank giving gifts to 10 radio stations in Accra to recognise their efforts in shaping public perception with narratives that promote peace.
The 2023 World Radio Day, which marks the 12th anniversary of the global celebration, is being observed under the theme, ‘Radio and Peace’ to highlight radio as an integral part of peacebuilding and conflict prevention.
The day is celebrated each year with the objective of raising awareness among the public and the media regarding the importance of radio.
